In this conversation, Neil and Emily discuss Neil's car troubles and upcoming vacation plans. They also review a movie but who really cares about that?

WE'RE BACK (for real this time).

Travel back in time with Emily and Neil, all the way to January 2024 when the year had just begun and still held such promise, such fear, and such wonder. As in, I wonder what is going on with this film, 2067??

We're also experimenting with shorter but more frequent episodes, so if you're loving it (or not) let us know in the comments!
